I would sincerely hope it's not in common usage, that doesn't negate its prolific use in the past. I've never heard anyone use the N word either (though have certainly heard other racial slurs) but if someone was unfortunate enough to have that as their name and they used it for branding then it makes sense to just quietly…

Two slices? Not that many calories because ite cheese so low fat and minimal protein. Two macros lots of people find they need to not feel hungry two minutes later. Mystery solved. Not the white food (which is often no better or worse than "brown" food).

Honestly? If it were my name and my brand, I'd be totally cool with it being changed.

For the record, I didn't for one second think it was deliberately offensive because if you're going to use it in its full awful context then cheese wouldn't really be your first thought but still.......

I'm honestly shocked. Would definitely not still exist if it was ever a thing in the UK.

Coon is a very very odd branding choice to keep in 2018........

Much more prevalent in the dance community for sure. In the case of elite sports it can delay growing and puberty (which is what happened to me with gymnastics) and not because I didn't eat like a horse, I did, but you need so much food/calories for training 5+ days a week on top of usual kid stuff and growing. When I quit…

Ah, yeah, you'll often get a skewed perspective from the dance community, ballet especially. Misty Copeland has done a lot to change what a ballet dancer should look like but things are always slow to change. Eat more. And I'd encourage investing in a food scale instead of using cups for solids, they're inaccurate and you…

And where the article comes from matters, journalists are rarely well versed in interpreting findings from studies.

So basically, inadequate folic acid intake is bad? That's been known for a very long time and it's been recommended women trying to get pregnant should supplement regardless of dietary choices.

Not only losing muscle but heading for a hospital visit inducing collapse. I expect not only are you retaining from the sudden increase in exercise but also from cortisol due to the amount of stress you're putting your body under.

It's only been a week since you last posted about not losing. I'd think at this point your cortisol is through the roof from stress and so you are still retaining water. You are consistently your own worst enemy throughout the process.

If it's a UK label, which even imported products have a UK appropriate label on them, then it is a UK tablespoon and you should use a UK entry?

Use UK database entries?

You need a calorie deficit to lose weight. It wasn't directly the meds, it was eating too much, which the meds may have helped along by increasing your appetite.

For heaven's sake, for the last time, it's not your "macro", it's your macro split.

Also, I am enjoying the discussion of potato products in a keto debate thread.

There's these too, which are actually pretty good, better than any other frozen fries I've had! http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/mccain-triple-cooked-gastro-chips-640g/p/70827

If you go to an especially fancy gastropub here in old Blighty, you might find chips (fat fries) fried in beef dripping. Godly.

Is it a class? I think there's an option for dance but the burn in a tap class isn't going to be huge.

I think you've gone off the deep end a little. You unfortunately don't get to dictate who replies and the insights from others can be really helpful, especially if they have lost/are losing and have stayed consistent. Strategy sharing can give us a lightbulb moment. Lots of people "bank" calories, which is basically what…

But by your own admittance you did in fact lose weight simply counting calories. Is it seroquel you're on? (You don't have to disclose). If so, it can in a few people cause metabolic syndrome and yes, lower carb can be beneficial for that but it's not just sugar, it's all starchy carbs, singling out sugar is unnecessary…

Also to note that leaning out is about lowering body fat and that comes from a calorie deficit.

I have really terrible social anxiety with a bit of weird agoraphobia that presents as I'd rather be a stranger than walk out my door and bump into 20 people I know. So I workout at home using Fitness Blender (Youtube and their own website which is brilliant) with the odd other Youtube thrown into the mix. It can be a…

I'd actually struggle to get less than 100g, on average. Sometimes it's a lot more, sometimes less but never under 70g on a particularly protein light day. Kidneys are fine. I didn't suddenly start eating more protein when I started using MFP either so basically a lifetime of moderate-high protein. Kidneys still fine.

Delayed onset muscle soreness. As an extension on your desire to learn more about nutrition and its impacts on the body in the realm of fitness (and just generally) a good starting point would be people like Lyle McDonald, Eric Helms, Layne Norton and a lot of others I can never recall all at once. And yeah, kitten is the…

Except visually she's nowhere near 26%. There isn't 20lbs to lose, there just isn't. Forget what the scale says and look at what the mirror/picture says and that is telling us this is a psychological problem not a physical one.

I just fell in a Google hole that took me to Youtube and some bloke talking about why Jimmy Moore regained and keto etc and got about 5 minutes in before noping out. Set points, damaged metabolisms, caloric deficits not being how you should lose weight were all in that first five minutes.

If calories don't matter why the discussion about TDEE? Surely that's not a thing either then?

Your hyperfocus on a number on the scale isn't entirely healthy. Especially if it's detrimental to your health.
